Meet young puppy Juliette! Juliette is happy, bouncy, and full of life! Juliette loves her friends over at the shelter and has been our latest
little puppy project. Thus far in our care, Juliette is working hard at practicing her polite greetings, comfortably navigating the world on leash,
and using her little puppy mouth in appropriate ways all by the means of force-free, positively reinforced interactions. We are looking for adopters
willing to take on this little lady who will require a bit more support than your average puppy while she continues to learn the ropes of life!
Juliette is a bit worried about dogs, and would prefer to be the only pup in the home.
Juliette has a history of living with a cat that she was pretty interested in playing with, so any cats involved in her life should be dog-savvy, and comfortable with a high-energy pup! Juliette is looking to join a home with adults only at this time to best set her on the track to continue practicing being her best self in a lower traffic home.
If our smart cookie Juliette sounds like the pup for you, please head to the Methuen MSPCA location Tuesday-Sunday between the hours of 12PM-3PM!

Meet 6 year old Benji! Benji is the full package- he`s big, strong, silly and smart! He is looking for a patient adopter who is excited about training using positive reinforcement to help him learn his best leash walking skills. Although Benji is able to navigate a world close to other dogs, he would prefer not to live with another resident dog and would likely thrive in a lower trafficked environment outside. Benji has the potential to have some calm, tolerant canine walking friends. Benji may be able to live with older teens who are comfortable with a big strong dog! Benji does not have a history with cats, so any interested adopters should be committed to taking an introduction with a resident cat extremely slowly!
Finally, sweet Benji came to the shelter with a tear in his CCL that will require surgery. While the shelter is happy to perform this surgery, adopters should understand that after this Benji will require lots of rest and recovery.
If Benji sounds like the dog for you, please visit our Methuen Adoption Center Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-3PM.

Her infectious happiness is evident in the way she showers everyone she meets with kisses and tail wags, spreading love wherever she goes. However, Barbie does have some anxiety and prefers to have her people home more often than not. Additionally, she has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and requires a special diet to manage her condition. Establishing a strong relationship with your vet will be essential to ensure Barbie’s continued health and well-being. If you’re ready to welcome a loving and energetic companion into your life and provide Barbie with the care and attention she deserves, come meet her today and prepare to be enchanted by her irresistible charm.
Wiggles, happy smiles and lots of fun when you welcome Beverly into your home! Beverly is just a year old and she traveled up from the south to find her forever family. This little lady has been through quite a few changes in a short time, so her adopters should give her plenty of time to settle in with just household members while everyone gets acquainted. It`s always best to `puppy proof` the home including a safe confinement area where she can relax when needed.
She may be able to join a home with a well matched resident dog or a dog savvy cat. Any kids in the family should be older as Beverly still gets very excited and can be a bit jumpy.
If you think this bundle of fun is for you, please stop by to chat with staff Tuesday-Sunday 12-3p
Meet young puppy Pumpkin. This young guy is playful, energetic, goofy and
smart! He loves to entertain himself with toys and is working hard on his
loose leash walking skills. While oh so adorable, this puppy will require
a bit more training with polite greetings and to use that puppy mouth
appropriately. Luckily, Pumpkin loves his snacks and will train for
cookies. The best situation would be if he could live with an older,
patient dog that will teach him the ropes. Pumpkin could possibly live with
a dog-savvy cat. And older kids that are unphased by a bouncy puppy and
can help with training would be a perfect arrangement. Finally, this good
boy is hoping for an adopter that will help him train to be the best boy.
Does Pumpkin sound like the pup for you? If so, please head to the Methuen
MSPCA location Tuesday-Sunday between the hours of 12PM-3PM!
Sushi is not just any dog; he’s a Florida native who’s now ready to bring some sunshine into your life all the way from Massachusetts! This 3-year-old, 52-pound boxer mix is a bundle of joy waiting to find his forever home. Sushi is the epitome of easygoing. Whether you’re in the mood for a relaxing evening on the couch or an energetic play session in the yard, Sushi is up for whatever adventure you have in mind. He’s equally content settling down for some quality cuddle time as he is romping around with his favorite toys.
As Sushi transitions into his new home, it’s essential to prioritize his decompression and adjustment period. During the first few weeks, we encourage creating a small, predictable environment for him to feel safe and secure. Limit exposure to new people, animals, and environments, allowing Sushi to acclimate at his own pace. Observing Sushi’s behavior and body language will be key to understanding his likes and dislikes. Respect his boundaries and provide him with the space to opt-out of interactions if he feels overwhelmed or uncomfortable. Reading his cues will guide how he interacts with the world around him, ensuring a positive and enriching experience.
Meeting new people may initially be overwhelming for Sushi. It’s important to allow him ample time to decompress before introducing him to unfamiliar faces. Provide him with the option to retreat to a safe space if he feels apprehensive, ensuring he’s never forced into interactions that make him uncomfortable.
If you’re ready to welcome a loving companion into your home and help Sushi continue his journey towards happiness and security, then look no further. Sushi is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to become your loyal and devoted friend. Adopt Sushi today and watch as he fills your life with endless love and joy!
Meet our smushy and sweet girl Nelly! Nelly is a 5 year old dog who is energetic, smart, and loves her people! While she requires a little bit of time to get lovey with her new family, once she knows you she is sweet as a peach. Nelly is looking for adopters who are willing to give her adult-self adequate time and space to fully transition into her new home, as she`s been through a lot of change in a pretty short period of time. This means respecting her boundaries, and taking it slow while she gets to know everyone in the home.
Bonus: Nelly appears to be house-trained already, but adopters should understand that in a new setting it might take her some time to always make the mark! Nelly is currently looking to go to a home where she is the only pet, but has the potential to live in a neighborhood that has dogs in it- so long as her people are diligent in how they go about doing introductions! Nelly has no known experience living with kids, but could likely do well with teens who are able to read dog body language and give her space while she settles in.
If Nelly sounds like a fit for your home, feel free to stop by our Cape Adoption Center 1PM-4PM Tuesday-Sunday!
Meet Princesa! This regal mix breed has lots of love (and energy!) to give, and she cant wait to find her new home where she will be treated like true royalty! We have limited information on Princesas life before she came to us, but what weve seen here is that shes a little unsure about the sights and sounds of the big city, and will need a patient adopter who can help her settle in at her own pace. Once shes had time to make herself at home, she cant wait to show you her playful side!
If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through.

Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
Meet Ladybug, a charming and affectionate female dog, who is on a quest to find her perfect home. While she may initially be a tad shy in new surroundings, a little patience reveals a heartwarming companion. If you have a quiet home, and are excited to slowly work on building trust with her, you will soon see a very loyal friend!
Ladybug is a canine conversationalist, enjoying heartfelt chats with her human friends. Her true joy comes from cuddling, and she thrives when nestled on the laps of her loved ones, forming a bond that speaks volumes without words. Ladybug also has a soft spot for stuffed toys, finding comfort and entertainment in their presence. Ladybug does enjoy the company of other dogs, and would likely thrive with another confident adult dog in the home. Here at the shelter, she participates in daily playgroups, and seems to be a lot more confident and social when she is with her buddies! Additionally, Ladybug would be best suited to a home without children under the age of 16.
If you`re ready to share your heart and home with a delightful and loyal friend, Ladybug eagerly awaits the opportunity to embark on a journey of love and companionship with you.
Velma is the cutest little Shepard-mix puppy. And is she smart!!! In the
short time she has been here, she has mastered wearing a collar, walking on
a leash, the purpose of a clicker, and to sit on command. Velma is
energetic and fun, and after a good romp, she is sweet and snuggly. She is
such a friendly pup and loves kids. Velma has rough-housed with her canine
sister, and has had a very carefully managed meeting with a tolerant adult
dog, so she has had some positive dog interactions. However, she also can
get overly focused on other dogs and gets frustrated when she cannot play
with them. Velma is looking for an adopter who can train with her on
this. Ideally, Velma would live with an older, patient dog that could be a
solid role model. She could also possibly live with a dog savvy cat. And
kids that could help in her training would be an added benefit. Of course,
this pup is still young, so all the puppy manners will need continuing
work.
Do you want to meet Velma? If so, visit us at the Methuen MSPCA at Nevins
Farm Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-3PM.

When it’s time to wind down, Miss Kitty settles nicely with a bone or chew, savoring moments of quiet relaxation. While she’s an active and playful girl, she doesn’t require excessive exercise, striking the perfect balance between activity and rest.

If you’re seeking a furry companion who excels at snuggling and enjoys a balanced lifestyle, Miss Kitty is the perfect match. Come meet her today and discover the warmth and affection she brings to every lap she climbs into!

He boasts an glowing history of going to the bathroom outside and settling in like a pro once he`s found his comfort zone indoors.
Stone has previously done well with the company of older kids and delights in playful interactions with them.

Cora is a playful, energetic and smart young puppy. This little guy came
to the shelter having met few people besides his family and littermates.
At first, everything here scared him. After a few days, everyone is now a
potential best friend or partner in play. Just give him a squeaky toy
outside and he can entertain himself. Cora is looking for an adopter who
will help manage his world and slowly expose him to new things so he does
not get scared again. He gets along with dogs, could possibly live with a
smart cat, and could live with children that can handle a bouncy puppy.
Cora is very smart and loves to train, especially if there is cheese
involved. He is working on his puppy manners, and is hoping for an adopter
that will help him master all of these.
Do you want to meet Cora? If so, please head to the Methuen MSPCA at
Nevins Farm Tuesday-Sunday between the hours of 12PM-3PM.

Clyde is a goofy boy looking for a special home where he can thrive! This silly guy came to us very underweight and is still working on packing on the pounds, he loves so we think he’ll get there in no time. We don’t know much about Clyde’s history or if he lived in a home before, so his new family will need to have lots of patience to give him time to settle in at his own pace. In typical hound dog fashion, Clyde has a loud voice and isn’t afraid to use it to get attention, so a home without close neighbors to bother would likely be a benefit. At 10 years old Clyde still has plenty of energy and will benefit from mental and physical exercise. If the one thing missing from your life is a hound, come meet Clyde today!
If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

Bumi
2 Years Old
Neutered Male
Australian Shepherd
Bumi is a spunky guy who is ready to find a new home of his own. In tpyical Aussie fashion he can be a bit high strung and we’re not always sure what he’s worried about. In his previous home Bumi wasn’t afraid to use his voice to express his displeasure about being left alone. Once he settles in he is a very snuggly and playful boy who loves to follow his people around and supervise their activities. Bumi previously lived with another dog that seemed to increase his stress levels, so he might be able to have friends we think he might do best as the only pet. If you enjoy training and spending lots of time at home with your canine companion Bumi might be the guy for you!

I think you will really want to meet Braxton. That face!! He has quickly
become a shelter favorite. This friendly boy walks well on a leash, takes
treats very gently, and can self-entertain for a while tossing toys
around. Braxton was a transfer from down South so the poor pup has been
through a number of recent changes. The best adoption scenario would give
him time to decompress and gain some confidence. Braxton could live with
kids if they can read his body language for when he wants to be pet and
when he needs a break. Braxton might be able to live with a well-matched
dog friend using careful management. And he could possibly live with a dog
savvy cat.
Braxton is such a great dog. Would you like to meet him? If so, please
visit the Methuen MSPCA at Nevins Farm Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-3PM.
